Ann is a satirist. She uses extreme statements to wonderful effect. Its meant to be funny and the punch line - the joke is lost on liberals who take everything seriously. They miss the secret of Ann's popularity... she has fun with them.

"They miss the secret of Ann's popularity... she has fun with them." Anne Coulter equals playful kitty, leftists equal scurrying mice?

True, and the likes of Al Franken and Jon Stewart get a free pass when using the same style and making very caustic satire !

'Mad Magazine' was satirical, but they had pictures to help them do it.
